FO: Water´s Edge

The pattern: I must say it was love at the first sight! I like the whimsical style and the fit. It looks great also worn open. The cut of this cardigan adds pounds, but fortunately in my case it is an advantage. The pattern itself is written somewhat vaguely, I had to do a research of other Raveler´s notes in order to understand how to knit the pleats (see my Ravelry notes here). In case you like stockinette fields this a mindless, relaxing and easy knit.

The colour is very hard to make justice in
photo. This one is probably
the most realistic.

The yarn: Dreamy Madelinetosh! I have been longing for trying this yarn since the day Joji Locatelli told me that this was a divine: non-pilling merino! I can´t say much about the pilling factor right now because the cardigan is new, time shows more. The yarn isn´t as soft as other merinos I knitted, but it is certainly very nice next to the skin. Feels almost like cotton to me...
